Diehsa (1936–1947 Altmarkt ; Upper Sorbian Dźěže ) is a village in the district of Görlitz , which has belonged to the municipality of Waldhufen since 1994 . The Diehsa administrative association has its seat in Diehsa .
geography
Diehsa extends for about four kilometers on the edge of the Upper Lusatian heath and pond landscape in a valley basin of an eastern foothill of the Hohen Dubrau south of the Quitzdorf dam , about five kilometers southwest of Niesky in a wooded landscape. The federal motorway 4 runs a few kilometers south of the village, the next junctions are Weißenberg in the southwest and Nieder Seifersdorf in the south.
The place is in the form of a forest hoof village in the north-western tip of the community Waldhufen, in the west are Groß Radisch and Thräna (community Hohendubrau ) and in the northwest Kollm (community Quitzdorf am See ). Jänkendorf , Ullersdorf , Baarsdorf and Nieder Seifersdorf lie along the state road between Niesky and Löbau from east to south .
The brook, which rises in the upper village, feeds its water to the Schwarzen Schöps , which flows east of the village to the dam.
history
Diehsa was mentioned in a document in 1337 as Dese in the oldest Görlitz town book. The manor frequently changed hands over time, so that no dominion could develop in Diehsa.
A church in Diehsa was mentioned as early as 1354. The current church was probably built in the 15th or early 16th century. In 1539 the Reformation was introduced in Diehsa, through which the church became Protestant. At the latest since this time, the north-northeastern villages of Quitzdorf and Kaana (since 1936 Reichendorf) were parish in Diehsa. The church tower was built between 1802 and 1804.
In 1670 Diehsa was granted market rights , although the village was away from trade routes such as the Upper State Road. The market was mainly used by farmers and craftsmen in the vicinity to sell their products.
After the Battle of Hochkirch , Frederick the Great moved from Weißenberg via Diehsa to Görlitz in October 1758.
In the years 1819 and 1820 , two coins from the Roman imperial era were found in the village, which is now part of the Prussian-Silesian district of Rothenburg . In 1841 the Gewandhaus was built for cloth merchants.
Since 1874 Diehsa was the seat of the administrative district of the same name for the rural communities of Kollm, Diehsa, Quitzdorf and Steinölsa as well as the manor districts of the same name . The manor districts were incorporated in 1928, partly in different rural communities. In 1933 the Diehsa district was dissolved and the communities were incorporated into the surrounding districts. In the course of the National Socialist Germanization of Sorbian place names , the place was renamed "Altmarkt" in 1936. Until 1945, Diehsa belonged to the Gebelzig district .
On April 19, 1945, the church burned down and the bells, which had to be re-procured after the First World War, fell down. Due to the weather, the roof of the nave with its Gothic ribbed vault collapsed in the spring of 1946. A shortage of building materials prevented a true-to-original reconstruction, so that the longitudinal walls of the nave were removed by 1.20 meters and the church was given a flat wooden ceiling. During the reconstruction, which lasted until 1949, further structural changes were made.
Diehsa, again belonging to the state of Saxony since the war, was in the administrative reform of 1952 the district Niesky ( Dresden district assigned).

From the year 1777 17 possessed men , 20 gardeners and 30 cottagers have been handed down from a land register belonging to the Seidenberg estate . In the following two centuries the population fluctuated between 600 and 1000.
From 1825 to 1871 the population rose by a quarter to around 800, fell by around 70 by 1885, rose again to around 800 in 1905 and fell back to the level of 1885 by 1925. After the Second World War, Diehsa was home to many Displaced persons and refugees took refuge, so that the number rose by 30 percent to almost 1,000 inhabitants compared to the pre-war level. It only gradually fell in the 1950s and 1960s. In 1964 there were 819 inhabitants.
After the fall of the Wall , the population continued to fall . In the three and a half years from the reunification of Germany to the founding of the Waldhufen community, there was a decline of almost ten percent.
When Arnošt Muka compiled statistics on the Sorbs in Upper Lusatia in the first half of the 1880s, he no longer paid any attention to Diehsa, as the place was already outside the Sorbian language area . The majority or all of the residents were therefore German.
As of 2011, the average age of the residents was 45.5 years.
Place name
The German name Diehsa and the Sorbian name Dźěže , which no longer has an official character due to the location outside of the Sorbian settlement area , are derived from the Old Sorbian word děža 'Backtrog, Mulde'. They describe the location of the place in a trough-like hollow of the Hohen Dubrau.
Today the Gewandhaus serves as a registry office and administration building.
